Kicking off with ‘Everland’.

Things are not safe in London, England… where all the adults have been destroyed by a blitz of bombs and disease. The only ones who have survived are the children. Among them are Gwen Darling and her siblings, Joanna and Mikey. They spend their nights scavenging and their days avoiding ruthless Marauders—the German Army, led by Captain Hanz Otto Oswald Kretschmer.
Unsure if the virus has spread past England’s borders but desperate to leave, Captain Hook hunts for a cure, which he thinks can be found in one of the survivors. He and his Marauders stalk the streets snatching children for experimentation. None ever return. Or do they? Here, we must forget the story of Peter Pan that you think you already know. Because in Everland, the only way to grow up… is to survive.

Next up is ‘The Just Men of Cordova’.

There are crimes for which no punishment is adequate and offences that the written law cannot redress. This is a classic story about three friends Pioccart, Manfred and Gonsalez. They may be enjoying the exotic, Spanish city of Cordova with its heat and Moorish influences, but they are still committed to employing their intellect and cunning to dispense justice. They use their own methods and carry out their own verdicts. They are ruthless and constantly deal in death. These Just Men, have dedicated themselves to ridding the world of unpunished criminals and profiteers, and take their campaign into the treacherous, aristocratic world of gambling, horse-racing and high finance… where blackmail, poison and murder are commonplace. Working outside the law, they take it upon themselves to clean things up. A daring read, narrated with the deep and resonating voice of Bill Homewood.
